I am NOT suppose to have time to blog, but I'm simply too thrilled with my orders this week...
I've got 4 orders consisting 5 boxes of cakes/ cupcakes - but this is not what I'm thrilled about. I mean it really makes me happy by getting 4 for the week, it's a good number, but what made me really happy is this - I've made some gym toppers but that order was cancelled this morning. THEN a customer ("real" customer, not my friend and he didn't mentione that he's a friend's friend, so far, anyways) called to order a box of cupcakes and he requested for... GYM THEME! Yay yay... No need to keep aside those bar bell, plates, dumbells, mats.... that I've made till midnight last night.
And there was an order which was confirmed last night and I was able to take it, didn't reject due to the original (but now cancelled) order. Also, I've got another confirmed order this afternoon :) and it's something new, a tennis theme cake! Really looking forward to make that :). I'm sometimes a bit crazy about reason of being happy, let me tell Carebear and sis offline why I am particulary happy to do this cake. She's laugh at me - and we shall have a good time with some laughter :)
Okay, back to work!

Lazy Sunday
Went for a good hang out with MC and BIL this weekend. Yesterday we were at Dome for brunch, today we were at the coffee shop near our house for breakfast, then Delicious for lunch. Actually, this lifestyle is very expensive, we need to be very thrifty during the weekdays which I think suits my diet. I'm going to have either oats or cereal for dinner. I realize that healthy food for diet i.e. salad and fruits, can be rather costly. Cheaper food like instant noodles, are rather fattening and unhealthy.
Didn't buy anything today except for my shampoo, went around window shopping and to the house decor expo with MC and BIL, they got something for their new home. I'm really happy for them, it's great to have your own place where you can decorate and have whatever you want in there. Not to mention being able to do whatever you want freely without being restricted by your mum.
I am feeling very lazy today. Decorated the cupcakes I bake yesterday into little lamb and that's it, didn't even get started with those toppers that are required end of next week. Oh well, it is end of next week, so I suppose I can afford to be a little lazy tonight. It's 9.30pm anyways, I might as well get started tomorrow which shall be an earlier time. Today, lets sleep early for a morning gym class tomorrow.
I feel very unsettled with the life events at the moment, everyone around me are seemed to be unsettled too. At home, everyone else is planning to move out; At work, I can see that there will be a big change. I guess that's why it's good to keep certain things a routine, like gym going, and talking to MFG everyday.

I'm bored
You actually know it when it's coming to an end... I also believe that when a person is dying, the person will actually be able to know that it's ending. But one might not know exactly when.
I'm so bored at work because there is nothing much to do. Of course I can read up some materials and beef up product knowledge but I'm rather lazy. Tried to use some office hour to do some write ups for TeaRoom, but I cannot really concentrate since it's something that I'm not supposed to. I am actually very amazed that some people can be so brave in taking such a big risk, he is not afraid of losing them all?
Meanwhile, I actually do feel slightly more comfortable with some slight reduction of fats around my waist, not so tight when I wear my pants. And I'm changing my stocking fashion too since I'm feeling bored with my working attire. Instead of the usual stocking, I got the thicker type (not the winter ones but just slightly thicker). Got 2 new pairs today and these are those with designs on them some more haha... Wearing these are nice when you wear shorter skirt because they will make you feel less naked on the legs. Also got 2 new tops at the flea market in The Curve today, something new to wear to shopping :).
This year, I nearly forgot the birthday of someone I used to like a lot. Good thing or not? It proves over and over again that Time can change a person's feeling. No matter how much you feel towards him now, if things don't work out, it is for sure that the feeling will be diluted by time in due course. I hope with Time, my friendship with MFG can be better, no more him worrying about things, or me feeling awkward towards expressing certain feelings.
MC has gotten her new place. So BIL and her will be moving out in a few months time. I'm so happy for her, she will feel very settled down with her own house, own space. A brand new start and it's going to be a good one. As for mum, she's also looking for a place to move out, so looks like I'll be living a truly single life quite soon. Good or bad? For good I'm sure.
Other than these, looks like the option is to wait patiently.

Assuringly warm
I think MFG is still rather worried else he won't send a line that says "that's what friends are for". Ok ok, I KNOW about the friend arrangement okay. Told him "definitely a good arrangement". Can? Though the hugs were warm, but not quite a full hug lor. Too much worries already this MFG. Haih...
Got this fantastic present brought back from MFG, from another friend - A cupcake book, recipe and decorations! By Martha Stewart. Happy happy!!
And of course presents from MFG too, as a friend he would definitely get me presents lah. Fridge magnet and chocolates. Getting good in buying presents already I'd to say.
My ordinary day with happy surprises to end :). Perfect.

Slowing down?
Last week felt like a breeze, passed by like without effort, I cannot even remember what happened last week... whereas this week, right now, I am feeling like the week is dragging. It's only Tuesday today :(
But something to be cheerful about is that MFG is finally coming back! It's strange, I don't see MFG all the time, but knowing that he's not in the country makes me miss him a lot. Although we still get to chat on line for a while, he's just so far away. There was this one day which I nearly forget about the time difference and that he'll be going to sleep soon so only managed to say "hi" before he went off... So he'd finally left for home again, and he said there's a present for me - NOT from him, from another friend over there.
I have been talking to a childhood friend of MFG lately, a very nice lady. My stomach always churned when she told me about olden days of MFG, as I have observed, MFG is a really caring friend, very willing to give, good heart and all... sigh. There was this one time where she told me to take care of her friend here (MFG) after she'd married off overseas. Sigh... if MFG allows me to do that... she said he just need someone to sit by him sometimes, have ice cream with him by the road side... so sweet. Told her I will try.
At work, it has reached this point where I feel like jumping off, abandoning the place. I'm not sure if the people there are living in their own illusion, or avoiding problems, or trying to fool us. And I hate to lie for the company, so when the boss said to hold payment of a certain supplier, I will tell the supplier "sorry, boss said to hold your cheque", I'm not going to give script that says oh, my boss is travelling and no one to sign your cheque, or oh, we've transferred the money maybe stuck at the bank... If the boss won't stop lying, at least I should stop helping him to tell lies. Anyways, it's not my company, so can I please just relax? Yes. I. Can.
On the other note, I am keeping up with my morning workout okay, but I am growing fat in the same time, I still cannot fit into my older pants, and the weight scale has been showing increasing reading. I am heavier than I've started my morning workout 3 weeks ago. I've cut down my dinner to oats and cereal. Perhaps I shouldn't be taking so much milk even though low fat milk? Switch to brown bread? Have fruit juice only? Arghhh... something is wrong with me. I used to be able to at least maintain my weight without a diet, the workout alone will be able to help me maintain the weight.
Okay, let me monitor me for another 3 weeks before I do anything drastic to "improve" the situation. Meanwhile, let me also try to have enough sleep and see how.

Speeding
Wow... One week already? This blog has became a weekly event but didn't reflect my rather free schedule lately.
Flew through this week, only missed my Wednesday RPM, else my gym workout schedule this week was like last week. No, I did't lose my stubborn 5kg yet, pants not so loose yet either... so I patiently wait. Meanwhile, the debate between maggi mee and oats continues.
Alright, I am suddenly sleepy, but don't feel like abandoning the whole post, so I guess I'll continue with story telling tomorrow, or so.

The water is still a bit choppy
I had a good week this week :)
First of all, the good start on Monday, and I am most satisfied with my workout achievements:
Mon - RPM
Weds - RPM
Thurs - Pump
Fri - RPM
I will most probably top that up with a weights workout tomorrow to end the week.
However, despite the okay workout schedule, I got fatter already. I think it is because of too much eating out and I didn't go on strict diet for breakfast and lunch. I shall work on my dinner intake and menu next week. Then lets try to cut down on "bad" food for lunch.
Baking biz wise, not that great, came down to just one order a week. Ohh... I got an order from an old friend - I knew her when we went to UK for our degree, that was erm... 14 years ago! I didn't see her after I came back as she went back to Kuantan. Later, she got married and is staying in KL, very near to my office actually, but we haven't yet made an effort to meet or catch up :p... so I will be seeing her to deliver the cake for her daughter's birthday. She wants Mickey and Minnie in the garden. :) Cute. But hopefully Mickey and Minnie look like them :p
Other than those, the household issue is still not settled. Although everyone appears to talk to everyone and looks okay, but everyone (at least I know MC and I) is still very pressured. I wish there is a way out like perhaps everyone just move out and stay alone instead of staying with each other. I find it hard to not take those words mum said the other day lightly this time. I am taking it very seriously and am really still hanging on to all those she told me. Those must have been what she is really experiencing now, and how she really feel about me. While I don't wish to change me, she will just have to live with it and not bother me, or she will just have to get me out of her sight.
For now, let MC focus on her new house hunt and moving out first. I hope her mission can be accomplished soon.
There has been some drama at work too and it is really pressing that I leave the job and start the cafe. Please, please, please...
Though all those happenings, I tried not to think about them during this week aiming to give myself a good week. Lets leave the problems till tomorrow, after a good night sleep.
